| Summary | "Reminiscences of Two Years with the Colored Troops" by Joshua M. Addeman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This book offers a first-hand narrative of Addeman's experiences as a captain in the 14th Rhode Island Heavy Artillery, a regiment composed of colored troops during the American Civil War. The book likely covers themes of the war, military service, and the lives of African American soldiers during this tumultuous period in American history. In this compelling narrative, Addeman recounts his journey from the initial organization of the colored regiment in Rhode Island to their experiences throughout the war in various locations, including New Orleans and Plaquemine. He describes the challenges faced by his men, including harsh conditions on transport ships, the prevalence of disease, and the societal prejudices they encountered. As he details daily life, military duties, and interactions with other soldiers, Addeman highlights the resilience and spirit of the colored troops, as well as the responsibilities and complexities of his own leadership roles. The account provides an intimate look at the bravery and humanity of those who served, emphasizing their contributions to the war effort despite the significant obstacles they faced.
